Lc. 7:41‑42• 41Un acredor tenía dos deudores: el uno le debía quinientos denarios, y el otro cincuenta;
 42Y no teniendo ellos de qué pagar, perdonó á ambos. Di, pues, ¿cuál de éstos le amará más? (Lc. 7:41‑42)

If the Jewish talent of silver be designed, which is estimated by the same learned writer at 450£., this sum amounts to 4,500,000£.; but if the gold talent is meant, which is equal to 7200£., then the amount is 72,000,000£. This immense sum represents our boundless obligations to God, and our utter incapacity, as sinners infinitely indebted to Divine justice, of paying one mite out of the talent.
